What are the ways elevation affects weather and climate?

Geography
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The weather and climate are affected in a way that the high elevations decrease temperature and block wind and storm patterns.

Explanation:

A is correct because with increasing elevation the temperature gradually drops, usually around 1 degree Celsius per 100 m, and also manages to block the winds and storm patterns, managing to influence the local or even regional climate significantly.

B is not correct because it is a fact that the higher the elevation the lower the temperature is.

C is not correct because the temperature drops with an increased elevation, not the other way around.

D is not correct because the places of high elevation have a big impact on the wind and storm patterns.

EXPLAIN why most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of different tectonic plates
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explained as below

Explanation:

  • The three types of pf plate boundaries are spreading zones, transform faults and subduction zones. Most earthquakes occur along the boundaries of plate tectonics due to the effects of the earth's mantle layer that acts as a recycling agent and recycles 99% of the earth's surface layers from above.
  • Various tectonic forces and process act son these slabs and rocks from above and hence through the activities of erosion and denudation of the rocky masses these plates collide with each other as the earth is it's self not static its dynamic and moves continuously on a regular basis and hence changes take place on the surface of earth.
  • Thus it can be seen that the earthquakes and volcanic events occur at the plate boundaries and hence produce or are responsible for the various activities.
